Can I charge a battery by the sun at the same time I'm using the battery to charge devices?

If the battery already has a charge it would be like using it white plugged into the wall... Just not as good. The solar charger is more like a trickle charge. It will keep the battery charged longer than if it wasn't charging it. Thus is assuming your battery can drain and charge at the same time

Sure. You can charge both of them at the same time. Or the pair of two other devices.

Yes you can. I do it all of the time. Note that both batteries will top out at 80% and not 100% when using this method.

You can use solar power to charge a battery conected to this inverter , but you cannot hook the solar panels straight to the inverter.

i use the solar to charge a battery then run 12 volt lights off batteryif your using during day try itu may have to add battery for more reserve

You can but it ruins the battery. The battery will become dependent on the constant charge and will weaken.

No. It can not be charging and used at same time. It holds a charge for almost 8 hrs of continued use.

No.The circuitry is designed to look at the battery conditions (voltage, current draw etc.) and another charger in parallel would confuse that.If you need more power, you need to buy a larger charger or get multiple solar panels and feed those into Delran's separate solar controller.

I don't think so. The solar cell may charge without direct exposure to sunlight but it may not be enough to charge the battery completely. I have installed mine where sun does hit directly for few hours and the rest of the time it is at an angle but it still works perfectly. The light is not very bright, please keep that in mind.

If you mean for recharging the pack, no, you cannot. This will charge via the sun, or via the USB port. Now, if you want to power a wireless charging pad with this, and the charging pad has a USB input, you can do that, so long as the charging pad requires less than 1A of current.

Not by more than a few minutes. Would take three or four full days of sun to charge your battery, and thats when your not using it.

I don't think the solar batteries can be recharged that way but I'm not sure.Maybe contact the battery company and ask them.

No, you can not charge a device and use it at the same time. Doing this will blow your device up and the battery pack will explode and burn you house down.

I got these for solar LED lanterns. The original battery was soldered into the board - I removed it put this battery in it's place and it charges with the solar cell mounted on top. sometimes it charges fine - but has to be very sunny. You may be able to charge it using a AA/AAA charger and a copper wire taped to the contacts - but I'm not sure if that would work.

This specific panel is a piece of crap. Don't buy it. Their bigger panels, though, put out 12 volts. If hooked up straight to your device, it will charge as long as there is sun. If the sun weakens, it will stop charging. If the sun returns, it will start charging. If it is hooked up into a battery that can both receive a charge and send a charge simultaneously, then the behaviour if the same as above. If not, it will act erratically and you'll only be able to charge the battery or the phone, but not both.

Yes, It can be Used while it is being charged. And its working perfectly as well.

That's a good question. I THINK it works by either charging the connected device from its battery, or by charging the battery. There's an on/off switch that powers the USB connection. So that's a way to differentiate this from a true solar charger. With this you can charge and store, with a solar charger you have to leave the device connected to the solar charger and in the sun to charge.I could be wrong about that. I may ahve to test that the next sunny day.
